REFUELLING
Petrol engines: refuel only with unleaded petrol with an octane rating (RON) of no less than 95 conforming to
K
the European specification EN 228.
Diesel engines: refuel only with diesel fuel conforming to the European specification EN590.

ranty, depending on the damage caused.
STARTING THE ENGINE
Petrol engines: make sure that the handbrake is engaged, set the gearshift lever to neutral, fully depress the clutch

Diesel engines: make sure that the handbrake is engaged, set the gearshift lever to neutral, fully depress the clutch
without pressing the accelerator, then turn the ignition key to MAR and wait for the warning lights
go off; turn the ignition key to AVV and release it as soon as the engine has started.
PARKING ON FLAMMABLE MATERIAL
The catalytic converter develops high temperatures during operation. Do not park the vehicle on grass, dry leaves,
pine needles or other flammable material: fire hazard.
RESPECTING THE ENVIRONMENT
The car is fitted with a system that allows continuous diagnosis of the components correlated with emissions to en-
sure better respect for the environment.
